I see Crain's were out-classed as predicted.

You're boring.

Oh come on Observer, if you are going to comment at least put some effort in. I would rather be considered boring by one person than lazy by many. 
It is a shame that How Do who promoted Crain's entry to these awards with a blaze of glory has not bothered to mention they got nowhere as could easily be predicted by anyone who could read the entry criteria.

You're boring because you turn up on every Crain's thread sticking the boot in, like the proverbial bad penny. 
 
I actually think Crain's is doing ok and a niche title being recognised among established weekly newspapers isn't bad at all. 
 
How Do possibly thought Cumberland News coming first was a better story than Crain's coming last.

The Observer, perhaps not as observant as you think. You have not read all the threads including the article by How Do about Crain's possibly altering its subs marketing as a result of my feedback. 
Sure Crains is good but it could be better.  
Crains nominated itself for an award it stood no chance of winning and obviously failed to read or ignored the entry criteria - thats not quite the same as being recognised among established weekly papers. 
Are you sure you weren't hung over from the awards ceremony when you posted your snipe?
